I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 219: Exercising the right to make off-site recommendations (7500 words long!)

"Google's AI beats the world Go champion!"

"AlphaGo defeated Lee Se-sil in the middle game, and Lee Se-sil resigned after 186 moves!"

"Lee Se-sil: I underestimated the opponent in the first game. AlphaGo is stronger than I thought, but it is not invincible."

"AlphaGo's first victory may mean the advent of the era of artificial intelligence!"

"It was revealed that Gu Gou had considered challenging Gu Jie. Insider information confirmed that Lee Se-sil would lose!"

“AlphaGo defeats Lee Se-sil: The significance of the robot’s victory does not need to be exaggerated.”

“Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence: Are Humans Both Losers and Winners?”

"AlphaGo has demonstrated a professional level of performance, but it is not yet at the level of crushing humans."

“Gu Jie: Artificial intelligence will eventually completely defeat humans, but Lee Se-sil should be able to win later.”

"Don't be pessimistic. It is said that Gugou and Lee Se-sil had a pre-match agreement that they cannot rob. AI cannot crack rob, nor can it deal with imitation chess."

“Faith Collapse: What will be the next industry to be ended by AI?”

“Will artificial intelligence destroy humanity?”

"What is deep learning? Analyzing the past and present of alphaGo."

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. As soon as the news of Google's alphaGo defeating Lee Se-sil in the first game came out, it quickly occupied the front pages of almost all media.

Even the Anglo-American media, which initially reported little about this match, reported the specific process of the battle in a rare large and detailed manner.

After all, no one expected that artificial intelligence had quietly conquered the game of Go, a field generally believed to be one in which humans could never be defeated by machines!

Even last year, the strongest Go program Zen was still defeated by some top players even if it was given a 9-stone handicap.

At that time, Zen was able to beat some amateur players, which was already an amazing improvement.

And in just one year, the previously unheard-of alphaGo actually defeated the top powerhouse among humans! ?

There are doubters, advocates, and even panickers, but there is no doubt that alphaGo is popular and AI is popular!

"Wow! The Woking system is absolutely amazing! All 56 selected stocks have risen to the expected prices, with an average return of 11.8%! Thank you AlphaGo, thank you Li Shishi!" Lu Xuechang excitedly waved his fist.

The day before yesterday, the Woking system gave a recommended purchase portfolio strategy, almost all of which were technology stocks.

Luo Ziming was also shocked: "It's really amazing. At that time, I wanted to choose Google as a backup, but it didn't even choose a single stock in the Nasdaq 100 Index! Isn't it too bold?"

“Yeah, who would have thought that Google only rose by 1.65%? And Nvidia even fell?”

"Because Google disclosed that it did not use Nvidia GPU, but its own TPU."

"Google is too big. Its total market value is already 5300 billion U.S. dollars, and the price of a single share is over 730 U.S. dollars. The cost is too high."

"So the AI ​​companies that have just gone public are still rising rapidly. Look at soundAI, it rose 19% today alone."

"It's too bold. This combination strategy is still too bold. The Woking system also judges the risk of this transaction as high risk. It still needs to be adjusted back later. I decided to adjust the position and structure and add Google and Nvidia." Huang Xiang shook his head.

"Lao Fang just called this morning and said not to buy Google yet, Nvidia is fine."

"Fuck, he's nothing. The money is in my hands. I can buy whoever I want!"

"He is the money man."

In just less than twenty days, the No. 1600 Fund has grown to 1800 million Malaysian dollars, and after today, the amount in the account will be close to 600 million Malaysian dollars, an increase of million Malaysian dollars compared to the end of last month!
50% profit in a single month!
If the interest is compounded, after a year, wouldn't the twelve million dollars turn into one billion dollars? ?

Can each of us get tens of millions of dollars?

Fang Yu thought to himself, you guys are dreaming, are you really treating the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and DOJ (Department of Financial Supervision) as a mere decoration? If you really dare to do this, maybe the Federal Reserve System and the FBI will intervene in the investigation.

Moreover, even if he was not afraid of being investigated, it was impossible for the Woking system to really increase the principal by more than a hundred times in a year.

Fang Yu has done a simulation experiment. Due to the current computing power limitations, the data sampling of the simulated world is very rough. Coupled with the problem of data pollution, the virtual divination of the Woking system is unable to find out the stocks or futures with the highest volatility in the next few days.

The Woking system relies on virtual divination to define a large range, and then selects suitable investment stocks within this large range based on the internal algorithm of the Orange big model.

Moreover, the target price given by the Woking system is not that accurate, and on-site traders still need to make judgments based on actual market feedback.

Otherwise, in the case of short-term trading, once the target price of the Woking system fails, huge losses may occur, which cannot be solved in a short period of time.

In addition, as the controlled assets increase, the marginal benefits will definitely decline. This is the law of the market and there is nothing we can do about it.

Because the total market size is so large, when the fund size reaches a certain level, every move will cause market fluctuations and returns are bound to decline.

However, Fang Yu's more than 10 million Malaysian dollars cannot be considered a large scale. To be precise, there is no question of achieving marginal returns before the fund size reaches 10 billion Malaysian dollars.

Although a hundredfold return is impossible, a dozen times should be about the same.

However, Fang Yu's attention was not on the stock market, because the second battle between Li Shishi and AlphaGo was about to begin!
-
If no one recognized Hassabis on the first day, then on the second day, when he walked from the seventh floor to the spiral staircase on the sixth floor, he had to cover his face and sneak a few steps to get rid of the reporters' entanglement and return to the temporary control room on the sixth floor.

Unlike the first battle, in order to avoid being disturbed by media reporters, the DeepMind team set up a temporary control room on the sixth floor, where all members monitored the background operation of AlphaGo and watched the live broadcast monitoring on site.

They just visited the capital of Goryeo this morning. The biggest topic in Goryeo right now is the man-machine battle between Lee Se-sil and AlphaGo.

When everyone on the DeepMind team saw the battle of the century being broadcast on big screens in the streets, newspaper headlines, and even on bus stops where people could watch videos, they could see the joy from the bottom of their hearts on their faces!
Yes, we are making history!
We are the pioneers of the era of artificial intelligence!
Compared to the ease at the beginning of the first battle, Li Shishi's expression was obviously much more serious in the second battle, and his moves were more cautious.

"Oh, Li Shishi is being conservative." Gu Jie couldn't help but slap his thigh when he saw Li Shishi's tenth white move, "Why not go three-three?"

"Maybe he feels that he doesn't want to use your moves?" Chen Ying joked, and the other two male commentators nodded frequently.

"I said, that was something I learned from Orange. It's not my move." Gu Jie quickly shook his head to deny it.

The male commentator next to him said, "But you are the first one to use this move in a formal game, right?"

Gu Jie changed the subject: "The discussion about this move in the Great Zhou Chess Academy is already very thorough. If you have White, the new point three three opening can significantly increase your chances of winning. Then, follow up with a two-space jump and the situation will open up immediately. The rest is a matter of how the AI ​​will chase you."

"But now Li Shishi still uses the Xing Xiaomu opening. Now the AI ​​is obviously using a large circulation opening. If the AI ​​makes some targeted changes later, Li Shishi will be very passive." Gu Jie placed the chess pieces on the board.

"Huh? Breaking the right side? Not completing the pattern?" Gu Jie had just finished setting up the chess pieces when he saw Huang Shijie using AlphaGo's 13th move.

The 13th move is a move that deviates from the fixed pattern. In essence, Black loses the initiative. At this time, White can completely punish Black by breaking the edge at the place where Black just made the fixed pattern, making Black passive in the local area.

If an ordinary person made this move, he would definitely be considered an amateur player who doesn't understand chess. But this is AlphaGo, which just defeated Lee Se-sil yesterday. How could such a mistake occur?

Obviously, Lee Se-sil was also very cautious about the unexpected changes in the black pieces.

After a long consideration, Li Shishi placed the white piece on the star position in the middle below with a snap.

"Ah, this is to cut off the AI's retreat." Gu Jie praised and moved the chess on the board. This move was equivalent to Li Shishi predicting the AI's prediction and blocking the AI's response route.

Less than a minute later, AlphaGo made its 15th move on the screen: Stab.

"Thorn?" Almost all the professional chess players in the studio were surprised.

It's not that this move was so good, but that it was a completely vulgar one.

The so-called common moves are those often used by beginners or chess players with poor skills. These moves often seem effective, but they are very short-sighted and ignore the overall layout and long-term impact. To put it bluntly, they are picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Even if a young chess player comes from a formal training institution, he will be slapped on the palm by the teacher if he makes this move!

After this move, because the black piece has the first move, it is equivalent to exercising the right of first move, and the white piece is indeed unable to resist. However, the black piece in the upper right corner also loses a lot of potential changes and is finalized too early, which is very unfavorable for future layout.

What does AlphaGo mean?
AI has just been born, and human chess players have not yet truly understood AI's thinking. Quite a number of commentators believe that AlphaGo made a wrong move.

Only Gu Jie looked thoughtful.

"I think I can understand AlphaGo's intention." Gu Jie pushed his glasses and squeezed his eyes unconsciously.

"Oh?" Chen Ying was curious, "What's your intention?"

"Li Shishi's two responses just now were actually intended to undermine the AI's intentions, but he overlooked one point: AI has no intentions, it only coldly calculates gains and losses, wins and losses.

"The same is true for this move 15. We think this move is a vulgar one because it is too early to be determined. But the question is, is it wrong to be determined too early? What is our standard for right and wrong?"

"After the black pieces in the upper right corner are fixed, they gain real territory. Isn't that a good thing? As long as the AI ​​determines that this exchange is worthwhile, it has no subjective bias towards vulgarity or elegance. It only calculates whether it is appropriate or not."

Gu Jie calmly placed the chess pieces. No one, including himself, knew that, so far, he was the top chess player who had played against AI the most times. Unconsciously, he began to understand many of the AI's ways of thinking and subsequently moved closer to AI.

The next dozen or so moves were all set patterns, until the 29th move, when AlphaGo's black chess pieces once again gave the audience a little surprise.

In the words of Liu Weiping, a veteran of Big Surround Go: After seeing this move, he couldn't help but take off his hat and salute AlphaGo.

Although this move deviates from the existing response plan, it is a move that humans can fully understand. It is a move that fully demonstrates AlphaGo's dominance. Even if a human makes this move, he will be praised for being courageous.

According to the understanding of human chess players, the black chess piece should be placed on 3J, but AlphaGo was not conservative at all and directly placed it on the star position in the upper right corner of 3J.

It was just a small move, but it meant that AlphaGo not only had its eyes on the territory on the right side, but also showed its ambition for the middle area without reservation!
You know, in this case, the amount of calculation for subsequent chess moves is more than ten times greater than the previous mature response plan!
Lee Se-sil's response on the 30th move was quite satisfactory. So far, almost all chess players believe that the winning chances of both sides are still -.

"53% winning rate." David Silva and Hassabis crossed their arms and pointed at several monitors hanging on the wall. According to the complex charts on the screen, AlphaGo's winning rate increased by 2 percentage points after Lee Se-sil made this standard move.

It was not until Li Shishi's 36th move that Li Shishi nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with his performance in this game.

I really want to smoke a cigarette.

Li Shishi touched his pocket, stood up, walked out of the game room, and went to the outdoor platform on the sixth floor to smoke.

Just as Li Shishi lit up a cigarette, AlphaGo gave the landing point of the 37th move.

Five shoulder charge!

Since the previous few moves were relatively ordinary, the professional chess players and hosts in each studio were chatting. Gu Jie's studio was no exception. The four hosts were still chatting about the 15-stab vulgar move that had just happened.

"It's not surprising that AlphaGo can make this move. From ancient times to the present, there are probably only a few hundred thousand high-level human games, which is not enough for machines to count and analyze. But there are probably hundreds of thousands of low-level games played online every day. This method is not uncommon in low-level games, so it's not surprising that a computer can learn it."

Professor Liu Ziqing from the School of Computer Science at Xinyou University was also the host and commentator, providing professional advice for the commentary of this game.

"What nonsense." Hua Zecheng, who was watching the live broadcast, snorted, "Statistical analysis, but he hasn't even figured out the basic principles of AlphaGo. I don't know how he became a professor."

Fang Yu laughed and kept sending WeChat messages: "Everyone has their own expertise. Professor Liu specializes in tree search. It's normal that he has never been exposed to deep learning."

Gu Jie, who was in the live broadcast, was the first to notice AlphaGo's move. He signaled to the female host and brought the topic back to the game: "This move is amazing, a five-way shoulder charge. Humans definitely wouldn't make this move. When I was playing against Orange..."

As Gu Jie was speaking, he began to think deeply.

"Gu Jie?" Chen Ying pushed Gu Jie calmly. This is a live broadcast. Why are you in a daze? No matter whether what you say is right or wrong, you have to speak. Huanshi paid you so much, not to let you learn chess.

Gu Jie came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and continued to finish the chess set. He said a few words to deal with it, but it was obvious that anyone could see that Gu Jie was absent-minded. After AlphaGo made his move, someone from the Korean Chess Academy went to the sixth floor platform to inform Li Shishi. Li Shishi hurried back, and before he sat down, he saw AlphaGo's five-way shoulder charge!

Li Shishi took a deep breath, an incredible look appeared in his eyes, he smiled first, and then fell into deep thought.

In fact, this move is not without a solution. On the screen of the DeepMind team, AlphaGo's winning rate has not changed at all.

AlphaGo's winning rate is calculated based on the results of self-play, but whether humans can make the moves recommended by AlphaGo depends entirely on the player's chess skills.

"Orange? This move is too similar to an orange." Li Shishi was also thinking secretly in his heart.

"Could it be that Orange is really also an artificial intelligence?"

"If that's the case, even though I lost the game with Orange in the middle, it wasn't that frustrating."

"It's really frustrating."

Li Shishi suddenly realized that he had completely misunderstood AlphaGo.

He was too concerned that his opponent was a computer program and did not treat him as a real chess player.

Previously, when he played against Orange, due to the difference in chess skills, although he lost in the middle game, he still had the advantage for a while. For him, the situation on the field was very satisfying, at least in the first sixty moves.

Given the huge gap in chess skills, he could accept his defeat with a clear conscience.

But now, he was only focused on destroying the computer's intentions, focusing on his opponent rather than his own chess pieces.

This kind of chess, even if you win, is a shame!

I am Lee Se-sil!
I am the best in the world!

I represent the dignity of chess players!
Li Shishi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

In that case, let’s have a game of kill!

"Snapped!"

Li Shishi picked up a white chess piece and placed it on top of the white chess piece without hesitation.

Seeing Li Shishi's response, Gu Jie's eyes widened and his body straightened up suddenly.

Is Lao Li going to fight?
A little early?

AlphaGo jumped without hesitation.

Lee Se-sil, on the other hand, seemed to have predicted this move in advance. He ignored AlphaGo's small jump and placed the chess piece on the left side of the board without hesitation!
After this move, AlphaGo's winning rate on the screen in front of Hassabis dropped sharply back to 50%!

what happened! ?
"This move..." Gu Jie took a breath, "This is completely Yuzi's move. It seems that Lao Li is really going to attack head-on."

Obviously, this move was also beyond AlphaGo's predictions. AlphaGo rarely ran for more than two minutes before it came up with the next move.

AlphaGo also chose to fight head-on!

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

As the sound of pieces dropping continued, all the spectators held their breath unconsciously.

"Wonderful! So wonderful!" Liu Weiping's nose turned red with excitement. He couldn't help but cheer as he watched Lee Se-sil's 78th move on the chessboard. "This is what Go is all about! The series of attacks and defenses just now can be said to be the best in the past ten years, no, it should be said to be the best in the past twenty years! Apart from Wu Qingyuan's ten-game match, I can't think of any other game that can be more exciting than the previous one!"

"Li Shishi is worthy of being the champion for many years. Today's game of chess is the best he has ever played in his life!"

Gu Jie was also dumbfounded. Is this still the old Li who he could easily defeat?
By the 134th move, a layer of fine sweat beads had already seeped out of Li Shishi's forehead. His face showed a look of pain and his brows were furrowed. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, then took a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face.

The current level of chess play has completely exceeded everyone's expectations, including Lee Se-sil.

It’s so powerful, artificial intelligence is so powerful!
Although it seems that the two sides are still in a stalemate, Li Shishi is very clear that if he is even slightly careless, the dog on the opposite side will tear him to pieces!
In the previous game, Li Shishi admitted that she underestimated her opponent at first, and her mentality became unbalanced when she fell behind, which eventually led to her failure.

But he didn't think that AlphaGo's strength had really surpassed his, he just felt that he didn't perform well.

The same is true for the first thirty-seven moves of this game.

But after adjusting his state in the thirty-eight moves, he can proudly declare that the more than forty moves he has made so far are the best in his life!
Even if Gu Jie, who has always had an absolute advantage over him, came, he would still lose to him!
Especially his 112th move, which was a move that would make him proud for the rest of his life.

However, no matter how fierce his attacks were, or how dead but not stiff his zombies were, he was unable to gain any real advantage over AlphaGo.

Too strong!

Be strong when you are strong!

When I was in bad shape yesterday, this AI didn’t seem that powerful. But in today’s game, I played at my best and made the moves I was most satisfied with, but I still couldn’t win?
No, it's only the late middle game now, not the endgame yet, I will definitely have a chance.

Li Shishi's eyes flashed, and with a snap, the chess piece fell on the empty space on the board.

Robbery!

"Robbery! There must be problems with the AI's response to robbery! Right, Gu Jie?" Chen Ying also asked Gu Jie excitedly.

Gu Jie hesitated for a moment: "Maybe, but the previous chess pattern required a lot of calculations, and we've seen AlphaGo's performance. It's not clear whether robbing can trigger AlphaGo's bug. Let's see how AlphaGo responds. Oh, take it, Li Shishi also takes it, AlphaGo cuts off the food, ah, AlphaGo's response to robbing is excellent, ah, it pounced, this pounce was very good, no robbing material was wasted at all."

The robbery that Li Shishi had painstakingly provoked was so easily resolved by AlphaGo.

"It's official time. Let's see who wins in the end. The situation is quite complicated, but at the moment it seems the gap between the two is not that big." Gu Jie took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

Li Shishi, who had already entered the endgame, had an abnormally flushed face.

He could feel that the high speed of his brain just now seemed to have overdrawn his energy and spirit.

Even after playing the game to this point, he still had no confidence that he could beat AlphaGo.

"Win by half a point." Hassabis looked at the AlphaGo screen calmly and already knew the result in advance.

In fact, at the 161st move of the whole game, he knew that AlphaGo had already won.

Because at that time AlphaGo's winning rate had exceeded 75%.

It’s just that the subsequent calculations are too complicated and far beyond human capabilities, so human chess players cannot see it.

"Li Shishi lost." As the empty space on the board became smaller and smaller, Gu Jie had already calculated the final result in advance, but he did not show too much disappointment.

"AlphaGo is too strong. Even I may not be able to beat him." Gu Jie smiled awkwardly. "You're embarrassed again. I just said yesterday that AlphaGo can't beat me."

"Even if we defeat Li Shishi, it doesn't mean humanity has failed." Liu Ziqing consoled him, "Didn't that Orange on the Internet defeat you before? Do you think he has a chance of winning against AlphaGo?"

Gu Jie smiled and said, "Even if Orange defeats AlphaGo, it cannot be said that humans have won."

"Oh? You think oranges can win? If they can win, why isn't it a victory for humans?" Chen Ying asked curiously.

Gu Jie hesitated for a moment and said, "I am now basically certain that Orange is definitely also an artificial intelligence."

"The reason why I am not so upset about Lee Se-sil's defeat today is that this is not the first time that artificial intelligence has defeated a top human chess player."

"Orange had already done it more than two months ago."

Is Orange also an artificial intelligence?

"Are you sure? Have you received any news?" Chen Ying asked hurriedly.

This is big news! Bigger news than a bomb!

Gu Jie said calmly, "No company has contacted me. However, based on the two games between AlphaGo and Lee Se-sil, I am basically sure that Orange is also an artificial intelligence."

"There are many similarities in their thinking, especially in calculations. They don't care about many bold moves that we professional chess players call vulgar and bad moves, and they all have good results."

"That's because they are all AIs with strong computing power. Often times, common and bad moves are not bad, but the calculations after they are made are too complicated and beyond human ability."

"Artificial intelligence is different. Their computing power is so strong that they can calculate every step very carefully, and even a mediocre player can become a master player."

Gu Jie, a young boy who just turned 18, had no idea how much of a shock his words during the live broadcast would cause!
The chess pieces fell on the board one by one with a clatter. After the final arrangement and counting, Li Shishi let out a long sigh.

"I lost."

This time, no one cheered, either at the scene or in the studio. Even Hassabis, who had already come down from the game room on the seventh floor, had a solemn look on his face.

He himself did not expect that when he saw AlphaGo defeat Lee Se-sil in his prime, he was not so excited. Instead, he felt a sense of grief as a fellow human being.

"I played this game very well. I may never play so well again, but I lost. I'm sorry."

Under the flash lights, Lee Se-sil bowed deeply to the reporters below the stage, paused for a few seconds, and when he stood up again, everyone could see that his eyes seemed to have turned red.

Li Shishi raised his head and smiled: "In tomorrow's game, I will exercise the off-field suggestion rights in the agreement. Yes, I will invite foreign aid. Please look forward to the performance of me and the foreign aid."

Off-site advisory rights?
what is this?
Hassabis and David Silva looked at each other, what was going on?
This item was not originally included in their agreement. It was added temporarily by the Korean Chess Institute before the start of the competition. If the team loses the first two games, they can get off-field suggestions, or advice, for the next three games.

They think that if Lee Se-sil lost the first two games, it means that AlphaGo's chess skills must be far superior to Lee Se-sil's. Playing chess is not the same as the more people there are, the better it is. Wouldn't the game be worse if there are more people talking at the same time?

So they agreed.

They also heard that Lee Se-sil was very dissatisfied when the Goryeo Chess Institute added this rule at the last minute, thinking that the Goryeo Chess Institute did not trust his ability. Later, the Goryeo Chess Institute used some unknown means to make Lee Se-sil compromise.

How could Lee Se-sil, such a proud man, ask for any off-field advice?
"Boss, how did you get Li Shishi to agree to let Juzi play the next three games?" Hua Zecheng was also very puzzled.

In just one week, the Goryeo Chess Institute and Lee Se-sil were dealt with. Isn't this amazing?

"Because I have super powers." Fang Yu took a bite of the apple.

"What superpower?" Hua Zecheng was confused.

"The Goryeo Chess Institute sponsored 5 million dollars, and Lee Se-sil personally sponsored 3 million dollars."

“It’s this money power.”

Fang Yu chewed the apple with a crunching sound.

Damn, why isn't AlphaGo created by Apple? If it was, how relevant would it be now?
